I had such an amazing experience here! The work was easy and the hours were very reasonable, so I had plenty of time to relax and explore. From the beginning, I felt like this place was my second home. The nature and beaches around Porto Covo are absolutely beautiful, with some of the most incredible sunsets I’ve ever seen. The whole place has such a peaceful, cozy, and welcoming vibe. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and special volunteering experience!

My stay at the hostel was the best first volunteering experience I could have asked for. Everyone on the staff was very welcoming and always willing to help. The tasks were diverse, easy to learn, and the working hours were respected. It was possible to plan short trips during days off and enjoy free surfing lessons! Carolina cares about the volunteers and actively takes steps necessary to make the conditions better and better. the hostel is a tiny, quiet village but has beautiful coastlines, and with multiple volunteers present at once and an engaged staff, it never gets boring:) Highly recommend!

I ended up stayed longer as I planned!
It is such a cute place, the staff is amazing and funny, the view is a 10/10 and I really enjoyed the work. ✨ There is plenty time between the shifts where you can walk around, go to the beach, or just stay at the hostel and enjoy the views 🌸 The only thing why is not a 5/5 is becouse of the staff house but there are making step by step renovations, so it will be good soon! A lot of love to the amazing kitchen team & Joana, they have the heart on the right place! I will miss you all 🫶🏽
